Memphis sex offender convicted of child rape

A two-time sex offender was found guilty on Thursday by a Shelby County criminal court jury of raping a seven-year-old girl twice between 2014 and 2015.

Darrell Roby, 42, was also found guilty of aggravated sexual battery and faces from 37-60 years in prison without the possibility of parole. He will be sentenced next month by criminal court Judge Jennifer Nichols.

The rapes occurred at the victim's home in an area west of Whitehaven and at the victim's aunt's home in the Grahamwood area. The child reported the assaults to her mother.

Roby already had two convictions as a sex offender and has another child rape case pending later this year, according to District Attorney General Amy Weirich's office.
